Moved upmarket
A company adds an Enterprise plan, a Contact sales button, a trust center, or case studies from much larger customers.
Moving upmarket changes almost everything about how a company sells. Longer cycles, security reviews, and bigger buying committees need new process, new tools, and new outside help.

Runs on Apify, Clay, and Claude Code.
- Check pricing pages on a schedule and flag new Enterprise tiers and Contact sales buttons.
- Watch for new trust center and SOC 2 pages, and for case studies from companies 10 times their size.
What it triggers
An opening line, to show the angle. It never goes out as written.
Adding an Enterprise tier usually doubles the sales cycle before it doubles the deal size. How are you planning to fill the gap in the meantime?
- Email: Write about what usually breaks in the first year selling to enterprise accounts.
- Ad audience: Run enterprise proof to the account’s sales and marketing leaders.
Where it goes wrong
- Missing the order. A trust center often comes months before the first enterprise deal.
